The snow outside the court became smaller and heavier, and the Yangzhou salt merchants who gathered in the courtyard couldn't help but shiver.

But right now, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen is here, no one wants to leave or want to leave, and he watched a few officials hugging His Majesty Emperor Zhu Youzhen sitting in the warm pavilion of the charcoal fire.

Zhu Youzhen sat on the warm couch, wearing a mink coat, and while picking up the charcoal fire in the stove with fire tongs, he looked at Yan Yingyuan and the others in front of him, and the woman who wore the curtain and testified.

"Since you are my guard officer, you should know the rules, I give you a vacation, so that you can go home to fulfill your filial piety, and experience the joys and pains of the people's life, not to let you cause trouble, first report your name, and then tell me what is going on."

When Zhu Youzhen spoke, he couldn't help but glance at a shadow in the bead curtain opposite, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Botong, the prefect of Yangzhou.

Yan Yingyuan and the others were a little depressed, they didn't expect to meet the saint for the first time, but it was because of such a thing, instead of coming to the stage like Ning Wubo and Zhou Yuji to be ordered to listen to the seal.

Having His Majesty pat him on the shoulder is a glory heavier than 10,000 taels of gold for every officer and soldier of the Guards.

"Captain Yan Yingyuan of Zhaoxin, Captain of Zhaoxin, Captain of the First Cavalry of the First Corps of the First Guards Army".

"Captain Chen Mingyu, Captain Zhongxian, Third Class A Infantry Battalion, First Corps, Second Army of the Guards".

"Captain Feng Houdun, Captain Feng Houdun, Captain Feng Houdun, Captain Zhongxian, Captain Zhongxian, Captain Feng Houdun, Captain

The three of them all stood still, facing Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen with their chests up, and in the eyes of outsiders, they were also majestic, neither humble nor arrogant.

But only they know how fast their hearts are beating at this time.

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, he didn't know about a person like Yan Yingyuan, and even because he knew that he was also in the Guards, he deliberately pretended not to know.

Now that he is the emperor and the commander of the three armies, he dares to reuse Yan Yingyuan, who was born in a classic history, I am afraid that it will not be convincing, and it will be difficult for Yan Yingyuan to control the generals who are older than him.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that he would actually meet the three heroes of Jiangyin on this occasion, namely Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun.

"Now, it's not okay not to protect your shortcomings."

Zhu Youzhen made up his mind, and looked at Mao Bijiang:

"Wearing a square scarf, red robe and purple gauze, you are very bold, you look at who is wearing a red robe and purple gauze except for Jinyiwei and Huaiyang Governor Li Mingrui, report your name, when you will enter the school."

"The students are presumptuous, the word is clear, and the first year of Chongzhen enters."

Mao Bijiang didn't dare to face Zhu Youzhen, and at the same time secretly regretted why he was so unlucky today, he was just looking for flowers and asking willows, but he never wanted to have a dispute with a few martial artists, and he also made trouble in front of His Majesty, and at the same time regretted that he appeared in front of the emperor so embarrassed, and he just peed his pants Not to mention, wearing a bright clothes with flowers and branches is indeed not suitable for the identity of a student.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the social atmosphere tended to be extravagant and flashy, the hierarchy was no longer so strict, and Rao was a businessman with low political status who could wear red and purple, not to mention the pretentious Mao Bijiang and others.

Zhu Youzhen didn't study it carefully, covered his nose, and glared at Wang Botong, the prefect of Yangzhou, why there was always an endless smell of urine in the warm court, which made Zhu Youzhen very uncomfortable.

"One of the four princes of the Restoration Society, yes, I heard that you are arranging me, saying that I only care about sleeping flowers and lying in the willows, and do not think about the hatred of the country and the family?"

Zhu Youzhen said this.

Mao Bijiang trembled, and cold sweat rained down: "The student has no mouth for a while, please forgive your majesty!" ”

"The crime of slandering the monarch's father is not light, and he also clashed with the guards on the spot, dragged it down, and was decided!"

Zhu Youzhen is now determined to protect the guards and break the inherent concept that scholars are above the status of martial artists.

Mao Bijiang couldn't help but be shocked, he also thought that His Majesty would defend the scholars, and deal with these three low-level military attachés, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would directly kill him.

"Your Majesty, although Mao Xianggong is not disrespectful, but in the end, it is the saint's disciple, the disciple of Confucius and Mencius, and it is these three vulgar people who shoot, why do you want to execute Mao Xianggong", at this time, the woman with the curtain who testified began to speak.

Zhu Youzhen's face was cold: "Do you understand the rules, I didn't ask you, what did you say, believe it or not, I will be executed together with you!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Youzhen turned to the others and said: "You don't have to intercede for him, slandering the monarch's father is like a crime of rebellion, how can it be easily forgiven, not to mention that this person is also full of poetry and books, and he should understand the way of the monarch and the son of man!" ”

When the Yangzhou officials and businessmen present heard Zhu Youzhen say this, they did not dare to speak again, for fear of annoying Zhu Youzhen.

Mao Bijiang's body went weak and he had fallen to the ground.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen took the initiative to ask the woman: "What's your name, I can hear it, just now you said that my guards are vulgar people?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the people's girl Kou Baimen, I did say this just now, if you are guilty, let Your Majesty deal with it!"

This woman named Kou Baimen is neither humble nor arrogant, and she is not afraid of Zhu Youzhen's performance at all.

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, and asked Yan Yingyuan and the others to report their fame.

Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun are all famous, and they are also from Nanzhili.

After hearing this, Kou Baimen couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face: "How is it possible, why don't the three masters start a career and are willing to join the army!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said to Yan Yingyuan and the others: "Answer her!" ”

"Drive out the Tartars and recover the northern capital!"

Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun were relatively silent on this occasion, while Yan Yingyuan stood up and replied first.

"The real people with lofty ideals have all joined the Guards, training the skills of killing the enemy, only you and other boring people are here to talk about it, stay in this Yangzhou City, how to save the country!"

Zhu Youzhen yelled, and said: "Since I don't want to be a hero to save the country, I shouldn't look down on heroes, how can I cheer up the hearts of the people in the world if I don't kill!" ”

Li Ruolian dragged Mao Bijiang out, at this time the snow had already covered the entire court, the ground paved with terrazzo bricks seemed to be covered with a layer of white paper, and Mao Bijiang was like a bright red plum blooming on the snow-white ground.

The embroidered spring knife slashed into the air along the falling snowflakes.

Countless plum blossom petals splashed on the snow-white ground.

The officials and businessmen in Yangzhou couldn't help but be frightened because of this.

For the first time, they also felt the majesty of the king at close range, the Mao clan was also a big family in Yangzhou, and the officials in Yangzhou had to give up three points of face, but in front of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, they were just like ants.

And Zhu Youzhen is not aimed at the impostor, the pretending to be no better than Hou Chaozong, although this person did not die for the Ming Dynasty in the original history, but also did not Shiqing, and he is a more disciplined Donglin Fushe person.

However, Zhu Youzhen must kill Mao Kaijiang today, and if he does not kill Mao Kaijiang, the officers and men of the Guards have always regarded themselves as inferior to scholars.

Zhu Youzhen wants to use the head of the frontier to tell the world that if you become an officer and soldier of the Guards, you will enter the aristocratic class, and even scholars will not be able to mess with you.
